Tonight, in the midst of being open late for the first Thursday of the month, we’re also hosting a light-inspired film night. The projections will get going around 8:30pm – when it finally starts to get a little darker out!- but you can come by and see the exhibition anytime after 6pm.
Similar to last year’s “Water Works” event, we’ve invited St. Louis-area filmmakers to submit short, silent films, this time employing light as the key element. The submitted pieces have been put on a loop and will be projected on multiple exterior walls of the Pulitzer building.
During this event last year, Webster University film students took some great videos throughout the evening and interviewed both guests and filmmakers. To listen to what they had to say and to get an idea of what tonight’s event will be like, click here, here, here or here.
We’re also kicking off our lamp collection tonight. There will be lots more coming on that, but stop by to pick up some information on this project – and feel free to bring by an old lamp, lampshade, or lantern if you have one.
